...President was agitated, stern in a noisy setting, and the victim of a bad television tape. His subject was the San Jose stoning, an atrocity already condemned in all responsible and even quasi-responsible quarters, but Nixon was still trying to score points from it. "They're not romantic revolutionaries," he said of violent dissenters. "They're the same thugs and hoodlums that have always plagued the good people." What to do?
